Recall Class - 6 Week Course
Recall is a six-session course designed for owners who are experiencing real-world recall difficulties and want to understand why their dog's recall is breaking down.
Recall is not simply about repeatedly calling your dog and hoping they come back.
We look at:
Why your dog disconnects from you
What may have contributed to the problem
Why the environment can become more valuable than you
Teaching your dog to disengage from distractions
Building value in being close to you
Improving your connection outdoors
Motivation
Using food effectively
Using toys and play
Games that strengthen recall
Working around distractions
Proofing your recall gradually
Troubleshooting when things go wrong
The aim is to give you a series of stepping stones towards a dog who can enjoy greater freedom safely and successfully.
We cannot promise that every dog will eventually be suitable for off-lead exercise in every environment. What we can do is help you understand your individual dog and build a much stronger, more reliable recall.
This is not an introductory training course. Your dog needs some basic foundation skills before joining. For some dogs, completing Life Skills or doing some individual training first may be appropriate.
You will need to have time to practise between your sessions. There is homework each week. Recall is a skill that needs to be developed through regular practice away from class as well as during your sessions.
It is challenging, but it should also be great fun.
Support Between Sessions
Every course has its own WhatsApp group, which you can opt in to join. This gives you access to your trainer and assistant between sessions for additional support.
This is particularly useful during the Recall course because you can share any difficulties you are having with your homework and ask for help before your next session. We also use the group to share useful video content and additional guidance to support your practice at home.
